French Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu survived two no-confidence votes after winning support from the Socialist Party by pledging to suspend President Macron’s pension reform until after 2027.
The first motion from the left gained 271 votes and the second from the far right got 144—both below the 289 needed to topple the government.
While Lecornu’s move saved his week-old administration, it weakened Macron’s position and jeopardized one of his key reforms. Lecornu now faces tough budget talks in a divided parliament, where he could still be ousted.
The crisis highlights France’s deep political divisions and the ongoing backlash against raising the retirement age from 62 to 64.
